Is He In Earnest! "An ex-Confederate and journalist," coached by Cel. Ferney, has written what he calls " a tract en the political condition of the country addressed mere particularly te the thoughtful men of the Seuth," its aim being te prove that " the hour and the man " have met in the can didacy of Gen. Grant for a third presi dential term. The writer is at least en titled te credit for the frankness with which he lays down his premises, and if these are admitted the logic of his conclu sions will probably net be dis puted. His argument differs from that of most of his associates in his premises, or at least in the fact that he makes no concealment of them. It is net upon Grant's personal rectitude, his military services, his civic virtues, nor his display of administrative skil...

SOlnAT EVENING, MAECH 8, 1860. It West Werk There. The friends of Councilman Meuat and the ether Republican election officers who were held te bail by the Philadel phia judges upon the evidence of their lawlessnees obtained while canvassing the vote, must have a small opinion of the resoluteness of these judges in the sup pression of crime if they suppose that the guilty can be saved by inducing a grand jury te refuse te find indictments against them. The grand jury that was unable te see any evidence of the guihVief Meuat in the testimony thajr the judges thought te be sufficient te put him upon his trial did a very useless thing for Meuat and only succeeded in exposing itself te pub lic contempt by ignoring the bill against him.

The pleas of guilty entered by the de fendants in the bribery cases were wisely made in their own interests, as would be conceded, if it was net otherwise appar ent, frefti the fact that they were delib erately made under the advice of the astute criminal lawyers who undertook their defense. The result is likewise most satisfactory te the ieeple, since it takes away all doubt of the guilt of the accused men, and, moreover, shows that they were hopeless of manipulating the ma chinery of justice te secure their acquit tal.

The Recerd is frank anyway. It is bad te be a pharisee as its neighbors are, it thinks. But it is bad te be an intimate of men who plead guilty te the crime of corruption. It tends te de trey confidence in the absolute integrity of the conduct of a newspaper that it proclaims its large transa...
